Red Rooster Dispatch #14
From Warsaw to the world
Hello readers!
As autumn gathers pace, the startup world shows no sign of slowing down. This edition of Red Rooster Dispatch takes you from Warsaw to Tokyo and beyond: through events, opportunities and stories that connect innovators across borders.
Inside, you’ll find highlights from the XFactory Evening, the upcoming PAIH Business Forum, and new initiatives like Pitch2Tokyo and EFE International. We’ll also share what’s next at November’s Thursday Gatherings, another chapter of our team introductions, and the latest career opportunities on our refreshed job board.
🤝XFactory Evening: Tech & Innovation Afterwork
On October 29, La French Tech Warsaw joined forces with Forvis Mazars for the XFactory Evening at L’Emotion Bistro. The event brought together founders, investors and innovators to exchange ideas and experiences in a relaxed, afterwork setting.
Startups Migam, WasteTracker and Feyenally shared updates on their projects, inspiring plenty of good conversations and new connections. It was another great example of how active and collaborative the Warsaw tech community has become.
📍 Mark your calendar: PAIH Business Forum 2025
From November 5 to 7, Warsaw will host the sixth edition of the PAIH Business Forum, organized by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency. The event brings together entrepreneurs, investors and experts to talk about global expansion, new markets and practical business know-how.
With participants from more than 70 countries, dozens of discussions and a chance to meet trade specialists in person, it’s one of the key events for anyone looking to grow beyond Poland. If international growth is on your radar, this is the place to be.
🚀 New recruitment round open at 42 Warsaw!
October once again showed that learning to code at 42 Warsaw is about much more than programming. It’s about creativity, collaboration and a real sense of community.
